Comment (by RobJN):

 In regards to the bug request, then I agree with pnorman that UI
 improvements would be nice (but probably low priority for most people).
 You could even have the PNG files georeferenced by including a .wld "World
 File" with the download.

 @TomH : Thanks.

 @james_7114737 : It seems to me that your best option is to use the tile
 servers to get tiled map images. This way your users won't have to do a
 manual load into the app. All they will have to do is have the app cache a
 small number of tiles for offline use whilst on a wifi network. Tiles are
 served up using the TMS standard/service.
